Taking good care of your hair while exercising is very important, especially if you’re an avid runner and can’t afford to be distracted during long runs. Here are a few easy tips that’ll help you protect your hair.
Braids
Braids are perfect for keeping long hair in place and they look very stylish, which is that’s why they’re great for people who like to exercise.
Don’t Always Wash Your Hair After
We know it must be very tempting to wash your hair every time you come home after running. However, keep in mind that sweaty hair is not necessarily dirty and there’s no need to wash it after every run. Instead, use a hair dryer or a towel to dry your hair and you can refresh it with dry shampoo if needed.
Use Headbands
Headbands should be your go-to accessory if you have layered hair, bangs, or you’re simply struggling to keep your hair out of your face.
Avoid Heavy Products
It’s probably tempting to use hair product before a run if you’re struggling to keep your hair in place. But once you start sweating they can easily irritate your skin or get into your eyes. That’s why it’s better to use headbands or bobby pins for keeping hair out of your face.
